Q: It's late, I'm drunk, we are having hard weather...

don't you like this?  I sure do.  Imagine, near summer intensity rain storm in winter.  Obviously no thunder, but still pretty intense rain-storm for February.  China glarnks up some pretty decent weather.....   best I've seen is the 'red sand dust-storms' up central-north.  Second would be the Summer lightning storms down south,,,,, but for an expected to be boring February storm, this one wasn't bad.  How aout you? are you into weather? haha,,,  share.

I love a bit of gnarly weather. Lightning storms are awesome to watch and there's something soothing about snow falling.

 

I was in a cyclone a couple of years ago, well it started as a cyclone but had been downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it hit where I was but it was still the strongest wind I've ever seen. It was a bit scary but overall I have to say I enjoyed it.

 

The power got knocked out within about the first half hour so everyone was sitting there in the dark listening to the unreal noise of the wind and trees falling over outside and hoping none of the trees around the house would come down through the roof.

I was in a hurricane on the Texas Gulf Coast many years ago.  I can still remember what the place looked like afterwards,,, and the flooding that happened during,,,  we had a bayou as our property boundary,,, u know what I mean?  The property ended at the bayous bank,,, anyway, that bayou swelled to like I would say 4 - 5 times its normal width,,,  I can still remember my dad worrying it was going to engulf our house,,,,,  fortunately it didn't....   but I remember it came close...  that would have been the end to the home you know....

on my somber nights I watch some weather to pass the time on youtube, some good streaming web cams for Miami beach, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Alberta, good selection of weather, my favorite is sunrise on the British Virgin islands, I did that once on a balcony with a cup of coffee and two female companions, good times.

Those are some cool cams man. I sometimes like to have youtube nature scenes on the TV as background noise and something to look at and they're nice but are usually on a repeating loop and are never places I know.

 

Makes me think I should search online for some of my favorite places, it's 2019, there's a good chance they have a live feed going now.

Hurricane Andrew, Miami-Dade in 1992:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO0TGcRm6LM

 

I was in Ft. Lauderdale at the time ...

 

Short description for all no-vnp users:

Between August 23rd and 26th, 1992 one of the most violent and infamous storms in Atlantic history, Hurricane Andrew, devastated portions of the Bahamas, South Florida and Louisiana. Andrew was responsible for 26 direct fatalities and resulted in insured losses nearing $27 billion, making the storm the costliest Atlantic hurricane, as well as the most destructive natural disaster in United States history, at that time.

Just after 4:00am EDT (0800 UTC) on August 24th, 1992 twenty-seven years of near misses, complacency, and luck in South Florida ended as Hurricane Andrew's western eyewall moved onshore in Dade county, just south of Miami, with a phenomenal violence unequaled in the city's history. Sustained winds of 165mi/h (145kt) with gusts in excess of 200mi/h (175kt) spread ashore with catastrophic effect. The first major hurricane to strike the area since Betsy in 1965, and the first major hurricane to directly affect Miami since "King" in 1950, Andrew began a reign of destruction that would forever change the face of the region and would redefine the word "hurricane" for all who experienced its full fury.

Fort Lauderdale is a nicer place to hang out with out all the stuck up snobs in Miami and most people will speak English to you instead of Spanish.

Try with 'Che belle gambe, signorina ...',  while strolling on Las Olas ... all Spanish speaking lassies will understand what you are after ... You should pay attention to proper Italian intonation ...

 

I miss Fla and beaches ...

A:  "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "S
A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
